Herston Caravan and Camping

Gostou Close to Swanage beach for swimming if weather suitable

Não gostou Disgusting toilets, showers & dishwashing facilities. The water temperature in showers very hot & not adjustable & the shower heads not spraying consistently but leaking down the pipe. In the family shower which was a hand held one, I was burnt by the extremely hot water( you could have stewed a teabag with the boiling water)& had to redress & find another shower room. Still very hot & the floors are so filthy. Looked like someone had tried to dry floor with toilet paper, which was left in piles on floor absolutely dirty brown. Toilet brush was also covered in poo so not conducive to help clean the toilet. The whole site is tired, untidy & a complete shambles in places. We stayed here last year as needed a place close to Poole & it was in slightly better condition then but has definitely gone more downhill since. The pub bar has gone & a new building in progress but this doesn’t help the condition of this very shabby place which is such a shame as it is situated in a lovely, picturesque area & so handy for the ferries but unfortunately we will not be returning & would not recommend to friends.

Gostou Such a relaxed atmosphere, very welcoming and happy to except doggos, very clean and the way pitches are set out, very spacious!! Also exceptional views and very well sign posted! Cannot fault and will continue to be a loyal customer.

Não gostou Cannot fault and have recommended to several friends

Gostou Near to swanage little shop friendly limited stock

Não gostou Sewerage smell very strong all day and night had to ask to move to another pitch away from smell very bad and very noisy all night from families opposite who had no respect for others. Also coming into the site was very full of permanent caravans and mobiles very jumbled and messy facilities at the front very dirty no hand towels in the ladies for the 2 days we were there. Was slightly better once we had to pack up and move to a different part of site facilities better but the hook ups kept us awake with a loud buzzing humming.

Gostou Nice walk into swanage, facilities are what you expect from a campsite, shame bar not open

Gostou Location, easy walk to Swanage

Não gostou Overgrown, small pitches, lack of cleanliness in toilet/shower. Long distance to dishwashing facilities. Site looked run down

Gostou Bathroom style facilities
Size of pitches
Location of site
Onsite food outlet (on some days)

Não gostou Facilities being overwhelmed and not cleaned often enough at weekends

Gostou Good view and great location, near great attractions. Easy going site with adequate facilities.

Não gostou Seaview field facilities in need of a thorough clean, water not always hot.

Gostou Quiet space, nice location. Beds very comfortable and yurt spacious. Facilities easy to access.

Não gostou Toilets were numerous but always very dirty. Reception not particularly helpful.

Gostou Great location 25 minutes easy walk from Swanage Bay.

Não gostou Very disappointed with site. The site was very scruffy, the toilets and showers were not clean (and we saw no sign of anybody having checked or cleaned them during our stay). Some of the toilet/shower locks were broken and there were no dryers or than towels in the ones we used. The waste for the grey waste was 6 inches above the ground so we had to keep lifting our waste hose up to drain it. When we came to use the Elson point near to us it was blocked and it was the only one I saw that had a hose attached to it for rinsing out our cassette. Sadly the pitches looked nothing like advertised.

Gostou Nothing

Não gostou Showers disgusting, chemical waste inadequate, water stations inadequate, electric hookup does not have sufficient power, pitches are too close together so you are tripping over neighbours guy ropes etc, grass on pitches is left uncut. All in all and extremely disappointing site and would not recommend to anyone.
